Wheeler's father called police after seeing the video on WPBF to tell authorities it was his son on that tape, according to an arrest affidavit released by the Port St. Lucie Police Department.

Thursday, WPBF reported that Port St. Lucie police said the man approached the girl from behind and twice grabbed her buttocks while she was in an aisle with her grandmother and several other family members. The man left the store before employees and family members could find him.

"The girl noted that this gentleman grabbed her buttocks," police spokesman Tom Nichols said. "She didn't think anything of it, thought it might have been an accident, but the same guy kept on walking back and forth and then, just minutes later, he grabbed her again and left the store."

A similar incident recently happened involving a 6-year-old girl at a Publix store, also in Port St. Lucie.

"Some unknown person grabbed her from behind, so it pretty much mirrors the same thing that happened at Walmart almost two weeks ago," Nichols said.

When Wheeler's dad called police, he was told to have his son call police, which he did, according to the arrest report. He eventually turned himself in and was arrested on three counts of lewd and lascivious molestation on a child.
